units required in second yr life sci
Hey!
I checked the course calendar and it says that in Honours Life Sci, we have to complete 90 units in levels II-IV. Does this mean that even if i cant complete 30 units in second year, i can make up for them in the subsequent years? Any help will be appreciated because I am really confused as I dropped a course and now I am only registered in 24 units this year. Also, I might not be able to attend summer school this year so I really need to know if I am going to be fine.
Thanks in advance!

To be able to take more than 30 units a year, you need special permission from the academic advisor. So if they don't approve more than 30 units then you would need to do summer school or stay an extra semester/year to make up for the credits. Usually they wil approve a course overload as long as you maintain a good gpa.

usually they give it to you, but people end up dropping the courses, b/c its too much to handle

ohkay.. so are you suggesting that i take more than 30 units in third year? so it is not necessary for me to complete 30 units in second year, right?
